As far as Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier are concerned, an extra $50,000 should've come their way for their efforts in the UFC 318 main event.

Holloway was arguably the most appropriate choice for Poirier's retirement fight. Holloway made his UFC debut against Poirier in 2012, and they fought for the interim lightweight title in 2019. By winning, Holloway redeemed his two prior losses to Poirier.

Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier fought hard in his final UFC fight against Max Holloway, but ultimately lost the BMF championship by unanimous decision, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd at Smoothie King Center.
